Equipment

  • oven
  • mixing bowl
  • baking sheet
  • parchment paper

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch (optional, for tenderness)
  • 10–12 oz white chocolate chunks or large pieces for gooey center
  • 1–1½ cups white chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 °F (175 °C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in vanilla extract until combined.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cornstarch. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until just incorporated.
  • Stir in the white chocolate chips.
  • Take a portion of dough (about 2–3 Tbsp), flatten it slightly, place a piece or chunk of white chocolate in the center, and wrap the dough around it fully so the chocolate is sealed inside. Repeat for remaining dough.
  • Place the stuffed dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them a couple inches apart.
  • Bake 10–12 minutes, until the edges are set but centers still look slightly underdone.
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet 5–7 minutes — this helps the gooey center stay intact — then transfer to a cooling rack.
